Looks like this has already made it to the Wikipedia page for Kiss Trust: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiss_Trust

50.204.172.183 seems intent on changing the wording to be more favourable to kiss trust.

It looks like someone from Kiss Trust (are scammers) has been helping "maintain" the wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/50.204.1...

That IP resolves to a Comcast Business connection in Warrenton, VA. Guess where kisstrust.com's WHOIS record shows they are located?

I highly suggest going the "Something Awful" route, and simply just making fun of the lawyer(s) in question until they stop. People like this should be treated the way they act. Like children.

Unfortunately, treating them dismissively -- while appropriate -- does not help discredit or dissuade them.

Organization who allegedly asked the lawyer to take action: http://www.kisstrust.com/ * Maybe this was just an incompetent attorney, but regardless, taking legal action against a website for a comment posted really demonstrates that the company isn't capable of using its good reputation to handle the situation, and therefore lacks said reputation. Can't compete on the merits - GTFO. /rant

The site appears to be down.

Will the original thread about KISS Trust be restored?

According to the blog post, they have restored the thread, however their database appears to be overloaded at the moment. http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/forum/investor-alley/kiss-tru...

If done skillfully, it makes some of them go full tilt to the extent that they get themselves disbarred for insanely stupid things. Then you have to deal with being hated by a crazy unemployed ex-lawyer, so think twice about doing this if they live nearby.

He got a lawyer involved first to make sure it wasn't crossing any boundaries with his actions.

Well this one should be slam dunk to dismiss unless they file lawsuit in Texas eastern circuit court.

Presumably, this a reference to the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, and apparently the reputation of E.D. Tex. relating to its popularity for patent litigation based on the way its patent-specific local rules has become generalized even further.
